REN.ed,ItY IN EAST INDIA The following rerrunicable poem appeared originally, it is believed in the St. Helena Magazine, and emus alter ' wards copied into the London Spectator and other jour nals. It will be new to most renders. It relates to the early services of English othiers in India when the army was mowed down by pestilence. When Mr. Macaulay's account of die effects of oR.all pox is remembered, as it describes the separation of brothers, sisters and lovers, it will he seen that this poem gives, with wonderful effect, what is far nobler, however painful, the very poetry of military despair, but null the dying together of brothers in arms: We meet 'Heath the sounding rafter And the walls around are bare, As they about to our peals of laughter It seems that the dead are there. But stand to your glasses, steady; We drink to our comrades' eyes, Quaff a cup to the dead already; Aud hum! for the next that dies: Not here are the goblets glowing; Not here as the vintage sweet; 'Tic cold, as our hearts are growing, And dark, as the doom we inert.

The mother readily consented, and the Queen took the maiden with her. As she came into the palace, she led the girl up to three chambers, which lay filled from the bottom to the top, with the most beautiful flax. "Now, spin this flax," said she "and when you bring it to me completed, you shall have my oldest son for ytur husband; though you "NO ENTERTAINMENT IS S atty.

As she was nowssipturshe began to weep, and sat so three dais without turning aband. . -. On the third day theAueert came,., and wondered when she saw ltir'e was :nothing spun. 'The maiden excused herself by Say ing that she was so sadbeirig so -widely separated from her mothe r's-house, thatshe could not yet begin. Ttlsa Queen re ceived, but said, upon going-aviay; "To-mora row you must commenceyenr work." As the maiden was alone again, and knew not how to advise or 134:3ierself, she step ped, in her distress, to the-window. There she saw three women approaching, of whom the first had a broad, fiat' foot ; the second' had an under lip so large that it hung down over her chin ; and theOird had a broad thumb. As she renutinedhefore the window they stopped, looked up, and asked the maiden what she wanted.z. After she relatedto thein her trouble, they offered her theirassistau4, and said, "If you will invite us - to your wfdding, and not be arhamed of us, call us yofir aunts, and give us seats at the table, thiii will we spin up your flax in quick time,". "With all my heart," answered she, come now, and begin to work.';' So she let in the magical women, and made a hole in the flax in the first chamber, where they seated themselves and began their spin ning. The first drew out the thread and trod the wheel; the second moistened the thread, and the third reeled it and struck with her finger upon the t table, and as often as she struck, a skein of yarn fell to the floor and it was spun in the finest manner. The maiden concealed :the three spinners from the Queen, and showed her, as often as she came, such qualities of spun yarn, that the latter found no sad to her praise. When the first ehatraii MIS cleared, they went to the second, antl;it last to the third which was soon ended. rlcow 4 .the three wo men, took their loarv,elf , elsidt,t9 the girl.. "Forget notrtrhgt;t9 ems,. As the maiden showed the Queen the emp ty rooms, and the great piles of yarn, she began making preparations for the wedding. The bridegroom was delighted that he was going to have so skillful and expeditious a wife, and praised her very much. "I have three aunt-," said the maiden, "who have been very good to me, and I would not willingly forget them in my pros- P , rui" that 1 invite them to the wedding, and give them eats at the table." The Queen and bridegroom gave a willing consent. At last, when the feast had commenced, three curiously dres.ed women stepped in. "Ali!" said the bridegroom, "how came you by these deformed relatives?" Thereupon, he went to the one with a broad flat foot, and asked—" Why have you such a broad foot?" "From treading," said she, "from treading." Then he went to the second and said— " From whence have you that long under lip?" "From moistening, thread," answered she, from moistening thread." Then asked he the third—" Why have you t broad thumb?" From thread twi
